SENIOR PLAY Instead of following the old custom of presenting a comedy, the senior class will give a moving drama, House Party, for the senior class play Mon- day and Tuesday nights, May 20 and 21. I-louse Party is a new play of the highest type and was first released for amateur production this year. The setting of the play is a boys' fraternity during a ho11se party, a traditional social event in eastern col- leges. A girl whose morals are not of the best plots to blackmail one of the college boys. -Coming to the fraternity during the party, she is admitted and left alone with the boy. Taking ad- vantage of the situation, she tries to force the boy to write and sign a breach of promise letter, with threats that unless he does, she will scream, arouse the house, and tell her story. The boy refuses: and when the girl starts to scream, he rushes to stop her. In doing so, he pushes her over. She falls, striking her head on the man- tel of the fireplace, and is killed. The boy is tried and acquitted. He plans to go abroad, but the scene of the tragedy haunts him and draws him back. His fraternity brothers think he has come back to bid them farewell. His best friend, however, is able to help him clear his mind of the terrible burden. Cast Alan Bradford ...... Ronnie Evans ....... Sally Andrews ..... . Maizie Milligan .... . Hortense Pfeiffer ....
